Olivier Rioux is a Canadian basketball player originally from Terrebonne, Quebec, who has become notable for his exceptional height and basketball career in the United States. He was born on February 2, 2006, and has been recognized by Guinness World Records as the tallest teenager in the world, later progressing to join the Florida Gators as a center. As of late 2025, reports consistently place him at 7 feet 9 inches tall (approximately 2.36 meters) and part of Florida’s roster, after a redshirt/developmental year with the team. Rioux has also represented Canada in various FIBA-age group competitions and comes from a family with tall relatives, including his father, mother, and older brother, all noted for their height.
